Can bad posture come back to haunt you in your later years?

[looking4answers]

All my life I slouched in my chairs and standing. i never held my shoulders up.
Now I have a little bump at rhe base of my neck like a little hump and my neck just kills me all the time.

I used to be 6 ft tall but thanks to my refusing to stand up straight or sit up straight my spine has compressed and I just measured my height and am now only 5 ft 10 1/2 . Talk about freaky...Im really worried that now ill pay for my transgressions of refusing to do what I was told.

My spine lately has really bothered me and my neck and head and legs and arms and im wondering if this is all caused my the curve in my spine?
Has anybody else got problems from a lifetime of bad posture?
